The simple fact is, a lot of the most readily available instant coffee\u2014lookin\u2019 at you, Starbucks\u2014is pretty bad.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the convenience of instant coffee can\u2019t be denied. It was invented in the 1700s, and became part of American soldiers\u2019 rations starting in the Civil War. There\u2019s a good reason for that. When you\u2019re on the move, you need coffee that\u2019s lightweight and doesn\u2019t require any bulky equipment to make.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>For that very reason, a lot of us rely on instant coffee when we\u2019re hiking or backpacking.

class=\"wp-block-heading\">Voila<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I had already heard good things about Voila instant coffee. It\u2019s made in small batches in Bend, Oregon, and I ordered a box straight off the Voila website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As soon as I opened the package, the first thing that struck me was that it actually smelled like coffee. So this was a clear frontrunner right out of the gate.&nbsp;And you know what? It\u2019s good! Out of all the instant coffees sampled, this one tastes the most like real coffee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s clear from everything about the packaging and marketing materials that Voila is going for an \u201cartisanal\u201d vibe\u2014there are tasting notes listed on the packaging for goodness sake\u2014but they\u2019ve really created a good product.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I get notes of almond and dark cherry, as well as a pleasant amount of acidity. I would honestly drink this again, on the trail or off. Voila offers a handful of different varieties (the one I tried is a Columbian coffee roasted in Oregon by Megaphone Coffee Co.) as well as a variety pack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If there\u2019s a downside to Voila instant coffee, it\u2019s the price tag. You get 5 packets of instant coffee in a box that costs more than just about any other brand on this list. But you\u2019re the type who\u2019s willing to shell out a few extra bucks for quality, then this is the coffee for you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>#kt-layout-id_6ae579-4e > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(#kt-layout-id_6ae579-4e > .kt-row-column-wrap) >

class=\"wp-block-heading\">Alpine Start<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The box says, \u201cInstant coffee that actually tastes good.\u201d A bold claim! I was eager to find out if this brand lived up to their advertising.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Long story short, I liked this coffee quite a lot. Alpine Start is based out of Colorado, and I sampled the Original Blend which, although labeled as a medium roast, tastes and feels much more like a dark roast. It\u2019s full-bodied and flavorful, made from high altitude Columbian Arabica coffee beans.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Something about the flavor of Alpine Start reminds me of diner coffee (that\u2019s not a bad thing). It\u2019s bold with just a touch of bitterness, and thankfully lacks that strange aftertaste that makes a lot of instant coffees so difficult to stomach. Overall, it packs a lot of flavor without any of the negatives that one tends to associate with instant coffee.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I can definitely see this being a good cup of coffee to start the day on the trail, so I suppose the name \u201cAlpine Start\u201d is apropos. Alpine Start also makes a latte blend that I\u2019d be curious to try.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>#kt-layout-id_186b82-eb >

class=\"wp-block-heading\">Four Sigmatic Mushroom Coffee Mix<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Coffee made with mushrooms? I\u2019ll be the first to admit that I nearly wrote this off as hipster nonsense, but I\u2019m glad I ignored my gut and decided to try this one. Turns out, Four Sigmatic Mushroom Coffee is quite tasty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fortunately, Four Sigmatic doesn\u2019t taste overwhelmingly like mushrooms, which is a relief. It has just a hint of\u2014for lack of a better word\u2014mushroomness, which comes from the lion\u2019s mane and chaga mushroom extracts that are blended in with the organic instant coffee.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lion\u2019s mane and chaga are both purported to have some significant benefits for health, energy and focus, and they give this coffee a pleasant earthiness. There\u2019s something just a bit herbal about the flavor as well, and the coffee packs what feels like a pretty strong caffeine punch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Four Sigmatic is rich, flavorful, and has a good medium-bodied mouthfeel.&nbsp;The vinyl verdict: I would drink this again\u2026 but not every day. The hints of mushroom flavor are interesting, but more of a novelty. I would throw a couple sachets of this into my pack on a <a href=\"https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/best-hatchets-axes-for-backpacking\/\">backpacking trip<\/a>, and have a cup on days when I\u2019m a little tired of regular coffee.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>#kt-layout-id_36569a-43 > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(#kt-layout-id_36569a-43 >

class=\"wp-block-heading\">Waka Coffee<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Based out of California, Waka Coffee makes an all-around solid cup of instant Joe. A well-balanced medium roast, it has a smooth, rich, nutty flavor with just a hint of acidity. I don\u2019t think anybody would be fooled into thinking this wasn\u2019t instant coffee, but it comes pretty close.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The box suggests that the coffee\u2019s flavor profile includes \u201cnotes of citrus,\u201d which I must confess, I struggled to perceive. But overall it\u2019s bright and flavorful, with just a touch of bitterness on the back end (I don\u2019t consider that to be a bad thing, within reason).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Waka Coffee makes three varieties (Colimbian, Indian and Columbian Decaf) all of which are made using 100% Arabica freeze-dried coffee beans. I tried the Columbian, and I liked it enough that I\u2019m curious to try the others. Larger bags are also available in addition to single-serve packets.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One thing to note is that the box suggests miching one packet with 8 to 10 oz. of water. I used 8 oz. and found that to be just barely strong enough. It\u2019s a matter of personal preference of course, but I wouldn\u2019t push my luck with 10 oz.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>#kt-layout-id_48efcc-da >

class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mount Hagen<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The fact that Mount Hagen\u2019s instant coffee is organic and 100% Fairtrade certified already sets it apart from the pack. This is an instant coffee that a lot of people seem to like, so I was excited to try it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Made from Arabica beans, Mount Hagen is a German coffee company, and they seem to be genuinely invested in making quality instant coffee that\u2019s ethically sourced. With that in mind, the real question is, how does it taste?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, it\u2019s smooth and rich. Nothing about the flavor really jumps out, which is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, Mount Hagen is a pretty ordinary, forgettable cup of coffee. On the other hand, it lacks the bitterness and odd aftertaste that plague so many cheap instant coffees. That in and of itself makes it something I would drink again.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mount Hagen also gets points for being reasonably priced. With 25 sachets of coffee in each box, this is an economical option that lasts a long time.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>#kt-layout-id_5c3842-7b >

class=\"wp-block-heading\">Folgers Instant Coffee Crystals<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ve come to the ubiquitous Folgers. I\u2019ve had this one before\u2014I think most of us have at some point\u2014and I didn\u2019t have the fondest memories of it. So I was surprised, upon tasting it again, that it\u2019s really not that bad.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s not great, mind you, but it\u2019s a perfectly okay cup of coffee. It tastes more or less like what you would expect instant coffee to taste like. But it\u2019s not bitter. It has no discernible aftertaste to speak of, and it goes down smooth. I wouldn\u2019t drink it every day, but as trail coffee goes, I can\u2019t say it\u2019s half bad.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Folgers Instant Coffee Crystals also have the advantage of being dirt-cheap, and available in practically every supermarket in America. So if you\u2019re backpacking and need to stop for a quick supply run, this stuff is easy to get your hands on.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Buyer beware though, it\u2019s pretty weak (the instructions on the box suggest mixing a packet with a dainty 4 to 6 oz. of water) so you should just assume you\u2019ll end up using two packets in each cup of coffee.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>#kt-layout-id_4689d3-97 > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(#kt-layout-id_4689d3-97 > .kt-row-column-wrap) >

class=\"wp-block-heading\">Trader Joe\u2019s Instant Coffee Packets<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As the packaging of Trader Joe\u2019s instant coffee proclaims, this variety comes \u201call dressed up with creamer and sugar.\u201d So right away, you\u2019ve probably already made up your mind if this is for you or not.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Personally, I can go either way when it comes to cream and sugar in my coffee. The problem I discovered with Trader Joe\u2019s instant coffee is that it has A LOT of cream and sugar in it. I found it to be way too sweet for my palette, which is a shame, because the coffee flavor that was able to make its way through the murk of cream and sugar was actually pretty good.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bottom line: if you like your coffee very sweet, this might be for you. It certainly gets points for convenience (what hiker wants to carry around coffee, creamer and sugar separately?) but overall it\u2019s just too darn sweet.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I must say, it\u2019s a little weak too. The instructions say to combine one packet with 4 to 6 oz. of water, which means for a decent-sized cup of coffee you\u2019ll need at least two packets. Come to think of it, you might get a better balance by using one packet of this mixed with one packet of another non-cream-and-sugared coffee.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>#kt-layout-id_4922d2-2e > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(#kt-layout-id_4922d2-2e > .kt-row-column-wrap) >
